June 6, 1944, D-Day, Operation Overlord | Colorized WW2

Both of my grandfathers fought the Germans in WWII. I know that they took part in the fighting in France, though one of them told me he arrived after the storming of Omaha was over. He said he was glad he missed that one. Nonetheless he saw his fair share of horrors over there and fought in the battles depicted involving Patton's army. He helped liberate a concentration camp as well. After the war was over he came back and worked two jobs to support a family. My other grandfather had succumb to ptsd and alcoholism and spent the rest of his life homeless shortly after having children. I never got to hear his story. I am very grateful to both them for the sacrifices they made. They don't call them the greatest generation for nothing.

This is easily one of the best composed documentaries about WWII that I've found on UAclips. It's a shame you haven't made a whole series of them about different parts of the war with such rich detail and good narration. The blurring of dead bodies was absolutely pointless and absurd, but I'm guessing this is because of UAclips's usually idiotic policies about appropriate content.

I’m only 1:28 in and already love this. Thank you for the excellent quality of subtitles! The colorization creates a space for deeper emotional connection to the subject, the history of the subject. I’m already crying, at the faces of the soldiers in the duckboats and the ones who made it through the beach. The stillness of their faces, the stare, the exhausted slump. Those men had just experienced a terrible and terrifying day full of sensory overload and biological stress and fear, seen their fellows drowning, getting blown to pieces or shot through. Their bodies and minds had just gone through something as shocking to getting thrown off an incredibly high cliff- falling and falling and falling, not knowing when you’ll see the ground and your end; or if there’s a miracle that there’s anything that’ll break your fall. Hours and hours of intense biochemical activity, grinding, booming, smells of smoke and dust and burning, thunking of the boat doors dropping, the zip-ping of bullets, sweat, blood, pieces of humans, sand everywhere in everything, all with the very large chance that you’ll be dead in minutes, that you’re running knowingly toward death. But also with the big hope that you’ll get through. Generally, I mean. Not everyone thinks or feels the same ways. So, thank you for bringing this to us all! I’m sure it helps people in a lot of ways.

I remember in another documentary where a Canadian soldier was asked how he felt at the end of June 6 (it was his first day of combat as well), and he responded that when things settled down during the night the realities of what had just transpired hit him like a freight train all at once and caused him to break down. The documentary did a credits for the veterans interviewed at the end and for him it it mentioned that he fought all the way to Germany's surrender, but his three closest friends in his unit were all killed before that.

This footage is absolutely incredible. I always feel like there isn't a LOT of footage from this incredible and violent conflict, but there's a lot more than I would expect. So interesting to see all of this, looking into the faces of men who are all dead now, either via the war or after. But every face in this has a unique story to tell. No matter what, their bravery and sacrifice will never be forgotten, and they will forever be heroes. My grandpa served from 1942-46 and was a medic in the Navy during the end of the island hopping campaign in late 44 ans 45. I have his journal where he mentions all of the stories he told me and the end of the war via atomic bomb. Anyways, thank you to all the men who have served in this war for freedom, as well as any war for freedom. You will always be remembered by your vigor, if not by your name.

Good god! Whoever remastered and colorized this, my hat goes off to you my brother/sister! Beautiful job, this looks absolutely amazing and really helps me connect with this more than I ever could have possibly done without your hard work. Thank you!

I'm a ww2 buff and to this day years after first being interested in all of this, i can NOT begin to even imagine what life was like during those times. The pure dark horror that surrounded you each and everyday is almost hard to believe actually happened. The millions of people killed, murdered. etc. These brave men and women had passion and desire for their own country more than i think anyone or any group could today. Looking at the massive amounts of ships, tanks, soldiers etc etc that came together to fight off the atrocities, the manufacturing might the people had. All of that is just a pipe dream in todays society. I had a ww2 vet in my family and all the times i was around him when he was alive he would never talk about it. But you could tell he never stopped thinking about what he did or went through. You can physically see the pain and anguish in their eyes it is so sad.

I've been looking for a ww2 documentary that had more details about the planning and actual landing on Normandy and I think I finally found it. Thanks for the almost 2 hour video that felt like a 20 minute video that had my eyes glued to every movement on screen. Gaulle Walked around like he had battled hard and took France like it was his, but i did not see him do much.

I’ve been enthralled with ww2 ever since my great grandfather told me his stories when i was around 7 yrs old. I’ve never even seen most of this footage which is surprising i thought I’d watched it all, this is such a well done documentary. For some reason no one else has gone this in depth on D-day and subsequent missions after landing.
For anyone interested, i just read a 2 part book called “D-day through german eyes” it was really interesting to hear their first hand accounts of their experiences as a defender as opposed to the allied side. I definitely noticed some of the things they were talking about in the books and it gave me some insight into why that was the case.
One thing i would like to critique though… why do we have to blur the bodies? I think we all know what we’re getting into with a ww2 documentary full of original footage. Alot of people died… we know that but I don’t think it should be blurred out like that. Out of respect for those men and for us as well. This is most likely a nonsense youtube rule because i sometimes see videos with the swaztika blurred out. Not very smart imo. History is bound to repeat itself if we forget how horrid this actually was.

I have seen many documentaries on the war, but having recently visited all the D-day beaches, this documentary has really brought home the reality of what happened on those beaches. Fantastic footage. Lest we forget!

I dont't know who is responsible for the intro of this documentary but give him a damn raise. This is without a doubt the best intro I've ever seen. The music, the camera shots, hearing the numbers of what they brought up for this operation, the original sounds and so on. It's honestly a perfect intro that makes you hyped in my opinion. Thanks for that!

this footage is absolutely incredible. I always feel like there isn't a LOT of footage from this incredible and violent conflict, but there's a lot more than I would expect. So interesting to see all of this, looking into the faces of men who are all dead now, either via the war or after. But every face in this has a unique story to tell. No matter what, their bravery and sacrifice will never be forgotten, and they will forever be heroes

🙌🌍💪 It's incredible to reflect on the magnitude of the war effort during D-Day and Operation Overlord. The scale of preparation, coordination, and sacrifice is truly awe-inspiring. Watching these colorized videos brings a sense of reality to the events that unfolded on that historic day. Contemplating the potential outcomes if the operation had failed adds a profound perspective on the course of history. We owe immense gratitude to the brave men and women who fought and played a pivotal role in shaping the world we live in today.

My father, due to being in the Air Force in the early 1950s was sent to Germany. He and some of his pals went to see Auschwitz. He was taken aback by actually seeing and experiencing that death camp. He said when they went to see the "ovens", you could stand in one spot and feel warm, but when they stepped over to another spot, they suddenly would feel a cold chill until they stepped away. He never forgot, or lost his slides, about what he saw at Auschwitz. The pictures we saw from those slides he snapped as he toured the camp gave us girls a clear and unmistakable impression of what death camps were like.

Amazing - the achievement to plan and execute such a great endeavor. So many sequences I have never seen before. Still looking for my dad amongst the hundreds of faces in this incredible film. He was there - and made it home ! I work at an air base now where there is a memorial to the US Paratroopers who took off from there.

I cant help but watch and think, thank you to all my forefathers, wether in blood or by name. You make me proud to be an American❤

J`ai été très touchée par ce documentaire historique et par tous ces films qui ont été prix par ces caméramans qui voulaient nous faire voir comment tous ces soldats n`ont jamais abandonné pour que la liberté soit le prix de leur courage. Toutes ces prises de vue authentiques et très déchirantes à la fois nous permettent de revivre ce grand évènement historique de l`humanité. Sans ces soldats provenant de divers pays, nous ne serions pas là où nous nous trouvons actuellement. Je ne leur offre non seulement ma reconnaissance mais aussi un honneur digne de leurs actes.
Merci du fond de mon coeur.

God, this is so touching that I can't help crying silently for almost an hour... I cried for everyone Allied and enemies alike, victors and fallen ones...for after all they are humans...just like you and me...
For all the Allied soldiers and for everyone who fought bravely and courageously, especially those who died with honor so we can have our freedom, thank you, God
Bless You All! We love you...

A wonderful documentary full of minute detail. I'm especially glad that the heroism of the cameramen was acknowledged. Although I enjoy the documentary style that has been created with this, especially the colorization and inclusion of so much detail, I dislike the fact that you are forced to blur anything someone decided might be offensive. I'm very sorry that UAclips feels it necessary to have the horror of war blurred, as if that somehow makes the display of the inevitable result of war not present.
Anyways, thanks again.

Reconnaissance eternelle à tous ces soldats américains, anglais, écossais, irlandais, français qui ont combattu et sont mort pour la liberté des peuples. Respect a tous.

Un très beau reportage qui semble, au début, long. Tout est bien montré, expliqué, détaillé et le petit "plus", la couleur ! 1h40 de documentaire qui nous montre les hauts et les bas du fameux jour J, avec ses préparations, ses inventions, bref, un moment très agréable à passer, à se plonger au cœur de cette partie de la seconde guère mondiale. On ne peut que montrer du respect à tous ceux qui sont tombés pour délivrer et mettre un point final à cette période.

Inpresionante tanto dolor y tristeza causo causó ese desembarco un homenaje postumo para aquellos heroes gracias por todo lo que hicieron

Um dos melhores documentários que já vi, imagens que eu nem imaginava q existia, voltei no tempo.
Parabéns pelo trabalho de trazer esse conteúdo incrível para todos nós.

Both of my grandfathers fought in the Pacific. Sadly I was too young to understand how time is limited. It's impossible to wrap my head around the amount of total destruction we can ship overnight to anywhere in the world. Today when we watch movies it seems so crazy and far-fetched when they show anti-aircraft fire and the like. Then you watch the actual recordings of it, and the movies had to tame it down to make it more believable. Watching the actual footage after the movie Pacific, my jaw was on the floor!!!

Thank you for all the soldiers and servicemen who helped win the war.

Merci pour ce partage. Un documentaire fabuleux qui me rapproche de mon grand-père paternel (décédé depuis une vingtaine d'années) qui a lutté dans la résistance dans la région de Lille. Merci à tous ces jeunes gens de France, du Sénégal, du Maroc, de l'Algérie, de Tunisie, du Sud-Est asiatique, des USA, de Grande Bretagne, du Canada, de Pologne, d'Inde, d'Australie, de Nouvelle Zélande, et je suis sûr que j'en oublie (milles excuses) qui ont oeuvré à libérer le territoire national métropolitain. Dieu vous bénisse tous.
Thanks for this sharing. A wonderful documentary that close the gap between me and the father of my father (who died some 20 years ago) who fought in Resistance in Lille area. Thanks to all those young brave men from France, Senegal, Marocco, Algeria, Tunisia, South East Asia, USA, Great Britain, Canada, Poland, India, Australia, New-Zeland, and I'm sure I forgot to name some (please forgive me) who fought to free our national mainland territory. God bless you all.

Shame about the censored footage (history should never be doctored, no matter how brutal,) but nonetheless, this is possibly the most incredible and well-made WWII (and in general) video documentaries have ever seen. Well done, and thank you.

Despite knowing the dark & gruesome side of the war, it’s just refreshing when a documentary like this makes us view the main goal. The sheer perseverance of an army & its troops to win the battle, seeing each section play a role in their part, few paying with mixed emotion priceles memories & traumatizing experiences & most paying with their life. Idk where I’m headed with this but I’m speechless.

La nostalgia que me da al ver estos documentales... Tantos soldados sin saber su destino... Jugué medalla de honor y tan solo pensar que era así en la guerra mundial, me causa algo de tristeza, como tantos soldados vomitaban, o tenían miedo .... Fueron muy valientes, admiro a personas así.

Immense respect à tous ces hommes qui ont combattu pour notre liberté et nos valeurs, au péril de leurs vies ….

I have watch all sorts of WWII doumentaries, from The World at War to the Battlefield series (not talking about games). This is one of the most intese and absolutely astounding depictions of the war. The cleaned up footage and the extremely well written depiction of the overall military/political actions and importances throughout. Absolutely unreal, best WWII doc i have ever seen. How can i purchase this to preserve it in some way?

Esses foram heróis . Todo meu respeito por esses homens!

Merci pour ce documentaire, hommage à tous les soldats qui ont combattu pour libérer la France, loin de leurs pays et au sacrifice souvent de leurs vies ! Que le monde et surtout les français, se souviennent d'eux !

It’s really amazing to see the amount of ships and planes and people that went over to save the world essentially. Greatest generation is an understatement. They sacrificed so much to give us what we have today. I’m only sorry so many don’t appreciate and take advantage of what they gave us. RIP too all the great HEROS that saved the world ! My grandfather is one of them.

Thank you so much for such a incredible documentary. . My father and all his brothers(5) were in the Pacific theater and eventually for one.. Korea . All survived but none spoke to us about their experience . This was even more dramatic than Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan and that is saying a good deal since I was Private Ryan

What an incredible documentary, it’s so hard to take in the shere size and scale of the whole operation from all the hard manual work going into building those barges and prep work and servicing for the machinery, aircraft , munitions and supplies and making sure everything ran like clockwork for the struggle that lied ahead. Just wow. not to mention the heat being right in the middle of summer hats off to all those who did there part serving for there country and fellow allies among the shores 🙏👏

meu pai tinha 7 anos quando a segunda guerra terminou mas ao assistir este documentário não pude conter as lágrimas por estes bravos herois e irmãos que morreram de ambos os lados por causa da loucura de um psicopata lunático e seus sórdidos ideais, temo que isto se repita neste século pois os psicopatas nunca acabam .
Parabens pelo lindo documentário

Omaha Beach almost led to calling off the landings :it was a frightening and tragic reminder of infantry landing without enough armour. Most of the Sherman Duplex Drive amphibious tanks
were launched too far out where they sank with additional tragic loss of life. The bravery of all US troops in this particular landing defies belief and is brilliantly brought back to us in 'Saving Private Ryan' starring Tom Hanks and probably one of the most important WW2 movies ever made.(Nicholas)

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇵🇱🇨🇿🇬🇷🇳🇴🇳🇱🇧🇪🇩🇰
向偉大的一代，英勇的盟軍將士們致敬！ 願你們永遠不被遺忘。
Salute to the great generation, the heroic Allied soldiers! May you never be forgotten.

This docu has made me so aware of the immense gratitude we owe these men and the women, too, for their contribution to the war effort and winning our freedom. Also, so thankful for our great leaders and their strategic excellence. They carried the heavy burden of making momentous decisions, so conscious of the risks and precious lives that would be lost. May we never lose sight of the tremendous cost of the freedoms so many of us enjoy.

Thank you to all who had a part in liberating us from the Axis threat. Condolences to all of the families who lost the lives of their loved ones because of that great evil. May God have mercy on us all now.

To blurr or censor anything in incredible footage such as this one, to me, betrays part of the lessons of war footage like this gives us. I believe people should see how truly horrible it can be without filters.
On the other hand... these are real people with real faces, real families, descendants, and that impact can be very different on them...
Either way, thanks for making this available to us!

My grandpa was one of them. He fought in D Day before being wounded twice later on in Europe. I believe he also fought in the Netherlands because my grandmother who is still alive has an old wooden shoe that he brought back from there.

Documentaire magnifique qui nous permet de comprendre les contradictions et les divergences du monde actuel. Félicitations aux héros d'hier, félicitations à la réalisation. C'est juste magnifique!!!

Gracias soldado, el mundo y la historia se lo agradecen 🙏🏼

O meu mais profundo respeito a todos os soldados que estiveram no Dia D, combateram com honra e mudaram a história da humanidade para sempre. Quem quer que seja, eternamente obrigado!

Gracias y un minuto de silencio y oración por todos esos héroes. Mil gracias. 😢

Un homenaje a todos esos soldados que murieron en el anonimato y como dicen al final gracias

Assisti muitos filmes de guerra... tinha na TV a série Combate, assim como, os filmes russos de Guerra, a resistência russa em não permitir o avanço das tropas alemãs, desde atirador de elite, tanques, enfim... Do lado do Pacífico, as batalhas do EUA contra japoneses nas ilhas tomadas pelos japoneses.
O que chamou a atenção neste filme, é a presença dos principais personagens da 2° Guerra, desde o encontro dos 3 líderes para começar o planejamento do dia D, uma operação gigantesca para acabar com a guerra. Outro fator, este é um documentário com filmes feitos por cinegrafistas que estiveram lá no fronte, mostrando a realidade da guerra.
Um filme fantástico que mostra o empenho dos aliados em tomar a França até tomar Paris. Todas as pessoas precisam desta informação direta dos fatos. Na minha opinião, alemães não mereciam ser prisioneiros de guerra por todo mal que causaram, aliás, toda a Alemanha e seu povo, deveriam ser dizimados da face deste planeta. Não, não por vingança, mas, por justiça !!!

Super exelente reportaje de ese capítulo de la segunda guerra mundial, en el cual ustedes le dan más profundidad de lo poco que se conoce sobre ello, hay momentos en que uno vive la fatalidad de la guerra. Felicitaciones por ese esfuerzo que ustedes hacen para que se vivan los hechos y se conozca visualmente la historia... Gracias

Quel document passionnant , hommage à tous ceux ces soldats qui ont perdus la vie durant la seconde guerre mondiale

I'm 67 and have watched countless documentaries on this subject , but I have never seen one explain and examine in every aspect in such a complete and thorough way...Well done , First Class.

Sin dudas el mejor video de la WWII de todos los que he visto , infinitas gracias a todos esos heroes que dejaron lo mas preciado que tenian, sus vidas, en pos de la libertad y la democracia de los pueblos libres. QEPD 🇺🇾🇺🇾🇫🇷🇫🇷

Bravo à ce magnifique hommage à tous ces hommes qui ont donné leur vie au nom de la liberté

Verdaderos hombres de honor, el día de hoy todos ellos están descansando en paz... Pero sus obras son eternas.

Only 10 min into watching it but it's already an amazing documentary! So riveting , so well produced.

ayer se cumplió 79 años del desembarco de Normandía que hombres valientes que arriesgaron sus vidas

I was born on June 6 in the aftermath of WWll. 🇬🇧
Both my parents were young children, my mother was Irish, and my father was Sicilian, I have a photo of my father and his two siblings when they were taken by the Blackshirts and placed in an orphanage in Rome. They were labeled, 1,2,3. The picture is haunting. On the 6th I celebrate these brave Allies, foregoing anything else that day!

Thanks! This was an amazing film. The color work was amazing. Very very well done.

I could not imagine crossing that water and know what was waiting on the other side when the ship stops, brave soldiers fighting for our freedom, may you rest in peace never forgotten!

One of the top documentaries I have ever seen. Well narrated and edited. It ties all those loose ends together. Great job, and God bless these hero vets.

Le meilleur documentaire sur le débarquement de la seconde guerre mondiale que j'ai jamais vu ! Riche en émotion, une narration extraordinaire, des vidéos haut en couleur ! C'est un travaille incroyable qui et fais-la, j'en ai u les larmes aux yeux à la fin ! Merci de nous partager ça après temps d'année…❤🙏

Merci beaucoup pour ce documentaire et les images en couleurs qui aident à voir les efforts de tant de soldats

Πολύ ωραίο ντοκιμαντέρ , ζητώ η ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΊΑ για όλους τους ανθρώπους σε όλο τον κόσμο .ΜΠΡΆΒΟ και τιμή για όλους που πολέμησαν και θυσιάστηκαν για αυτή. Άξιοι .

Que maravillosa narración! Se entiende tan bien k no quedan preguntas ,y Gracias a millon s de héroes ! Hombres,mujeres niñas ,niños adultos ! Que se sacrificaron, para tener libertad ! Gracias a estos documentales conocemos nuestra historia ! De otros países !Gracias !! 😚

the way the documental was ended, made me feel like to say thanks so much to those young mans, for risk their lives and be anonymous heroes...

Thank you to those who colorized this film. It really helps to bring these events to life by an exponentially higher order of magnitude.

I couldn't even imagine a war effort this must have took, literally a whole world gearing every citizen for war. Insane. You watch these videos and it's something that actually happened, the world would certainly be a very different place now had this operation failed. Thank god for all those men and women who fought!

I'll never get over the sheer will power of these men and how they went up against a seemingly impossible task like this and helped turn the tide.

My grandfather fought in Europe and during the French Campaign. He was part of the liberation of a death camp. He didnt speak often or freely about his experiences. But my sister has his France Campaign medal.

Merci beaucoup pour ce magnifique reportage, en énorme hommage à tous ces hommes et femmes.

Es sin duda una de los mejores documentales de la 2 guerra mundial lo unico que lamento es la censura de los muertos en combate yaque el exponerlo tal como es nos ase meditar en cuan terrible es la guerra en esta nueva generación para no cometer el mismo error buen video y me conmueve ver asta que punto emos llegado los seres humano

In my younger years I was a huge absorber of WWII history. I’d pour over every book I could in the libraries, and truly found that time fascinating, and still do.
As I grew up and fell into other things, I didn’t spend as much time enveloping myself in the stories of yesteryear, at least as deep as I had before.
This video popped up in my feed, and I’m overcome with such a feeling, like a longing I wasn’t aware of experiencing, washing away for having stumbled into this.
In short - thanks, sincerely.

Excelente documental! muy triste las guerras y que mostrousidad la cantidad de armamentos y fuerza militar que se utilizó y la cantidad de personas que murieron , Un dato que me llamó mucho la atención fue la cantidad de violaciones que hubo por parte de soldados de EE.UU a mujeres francesas luego de expulsar a los alemanes de Normandia, no recuerdo exactamente el número de denuncias (unas 1 mil por ahí que se hizo) pero se cree que fueron mas de 13 mil mujeres que sufrieron violaciones abusos y violencia , hubo juicos por parte de tribunales militares a los soldados (que los ahorcaron) y en su mayoría eran gente afroamericana y a los blancos les daban un castigo menor que la muerte (un notable racismo).

Merci pour ce remarquable documentaire une période bien sombre de notre histoire . Merci aux caméramans de l'époque qui ont immortalisé ces moments et qui nous permettent de voir et de comprendre

¡GRAAAAAN DOCUMENTAL!.
¡MI RESPETO INFINITO PARA LOS CAMARÓGRAFOS QUE ARRIESGARON SU VIDA AL IGUAL QUE LOS SOLDADOS!. 💪💪

Belo trabalho...parabéns !

Reconnaissance éternelle à tous ces hommes qui ont combattu et sont morts pour notre liberté. Remerciements aux alliés et à leurs descendants. Pensée à mon grand-père, prisonnier de guerre en Allemagne et ma grand-tante, morte lors d’un bombardement du sud parisien. Et reconnaissance au général de Gaulle qui a redonné sa fierté à la France et a tant contribué à son redressement.

What a great documentary, glad to say my father had a role in that campaign! I looked intently to see in the off chance I might have a glimpse of him! Didn't see him but he was there! Beautifully narrated and stands as a great tribute to the freedom that brave men treasure!

My Dad was there in the thick of it. Had battle scars to show for it. May he RIP at the ripe age of 90, 65 years after Hell on Earth.

me parece que seria de importancia recordar como en la única playa donde si había hombres experimentados en batalla fue Omaha, ya que venían a descansar de la infernal lucha contra los soviéticos donde las batallas, las bajas y los números eran inmensamente superiores y su experiencia se noto enormemente en su forma de luchar, al igual que es de ley recordar y no blanquear la cantidad de violaciones masivas por parte de los aliados a las mujeres Francesas en Normandía a las cuales silenciaron bajo la historia de los vencedores, así como es bien conocida la misma repugnante accion del ejercito rojo en la toma de Berlín , esta bien ensalzar mientras también se asuman las partes no tan bonitas.

Documentario Excepcional ! Parabéns ! Qualidade atual !

Maravilloso, increible documental gracias por compartir

I couldn’t be more proud of my grandfather, who stormed Juno in the Royal Regina Rifles and was part of the spearhead that stabbed into France, further than any other beach at Normandy. It was Canada’s moment of redemption from the failed raid of Dieppe. Hats off to you, gentlemen. Well done.

Excellent reportage. Merci.

Magnifique reportage merci du partage et surtout immense merci à tous ces bons soldats!!!

Thank you very much for this perfect film and to all nations, to all families who lost somebody during this terrible horror. Your victim made a free germany and a good future for me and my nation. Thank you so much.

I visited Utah beach and Omaha beach two weeks ago. I can not say I understand the meaning of Normandy landing until I was there. A great documentary film.

A SALUTE to the allied Soldiers and for those who perished may your souls rest in peace....(Lumut Malaysia)

This time,when we say " thanks to the cameraman for risking his life to capture these moments" we actually mean it. Rip to the fallen heroes of war.

These heroes sacrificed their lives so that we could enjoy freedom today. They deserve our uttermost respect and gratitude.

Des images incroyable, à couper le souffle !
Magnifique reportage

De loin le meilleur documentaire sur le débarquement
Et je pèse mes mots ...

Never have I ever, and I’ve seen every WW2 documentary. This has had some of the most outstanding back information I have never seen. The concrete ships to sink on the beaches to destroy underwater mines and barricades was mind boggling.

Mi admiración a todos aquellos hombres y mujeres que lucharon por la Libertad...!!!!

Amazing footage and story, thanks to all those brave men and woman!

GRACIAS Grant y nill y todos los camarógrafos que arriesgaron la vida para que hoy pueda estar viendo esto cómodamente en mi cama y ver realmente como fue la guerra, éstos camarógrafos se merecen todo

I'm Dutch and work as a chauffeur in Belgium, North of France and Luxemburg. My mothers childhood house (close by the Grebbeberg in Netherlands) still had grenade shells remnants visible in the walls. My fathers family came by boat from the Dutch Indies, after horrible years with the Japanese. 2 generations later, family ties are still heavily influenced by what happened almost a century ago.
Wether I drive for work to Northern France, West Belgium, Ardennes Belgium, Luxemburg, I will pass many war monuments, graveyards, and fields that to this day still have ammunition, bombs, etc. (also from WW1). Everywhere there are streets and bridges with names like Montgomery or Churchill.
Even for a European guy, living in this part of the world and being confronted daily by this history.. it is hard to grip the numbers, the personal stories, the small incidents that played a huge roll in the outcome of this war, and so on.
Words can't describe the grattitude we owe all these young guys who gave their lives so we can live in peace in Western Europe for almost 80 years now. Let us never forget.

Rien de plus merveilleux que la lumière de l'aube !

Out of all, I also have an immense respect to the cameraman who showed and will be showing the world about these terrible/proud moments forever.
